The idea of plausible eclecticism is to gain valuable contribution of various methods of teaching, while minimizing the drawbacks issues of each teaching method. The plausible eclecticism was triggered by the notions of post-method pedagogy, proposed by Kumaravadivelu. Post-method has raised awareness of the limitation of methods and gives more attention to teachers' autonomy to pragmatically theorize what they practice using the sense of plausibility. The proposed notions have gained debates. The debates on post-method notions should be positively responded through idea sharing. This article is written to share thoughts on the debates.

In line with this policy, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the implementation of one type of assessment, namely formative assessment in online learning situations. This study focuses on students' perceptions of the implementation of formative assessment in English learning. By using a mixed-method research design, data collection was carried out through survey and interview methods. The samples of this study were 215 students of a Junior High School in Bali, Indonesia and involved 8 students from the entire sample as participants in the interview. The survey results showed that students had a positive perception of the implementation of online formative assessment. This is also supported by information obtained in the interview process, in which students feel that this type of online formative assessment is comfortable to carry out, especially because of the use of simple and easy tools. In addition, students also feel that there are things that make online formative assessment less effective, such as the unavailability of feedback which also causes students to be less interested in this type of assessment. Through this study, it is hoped that it can provide various information for students and teachers for the purpose of improving the quality of the implementation of formative assessment in English learning.
